How to Run Enable/Disable Maintenance Mode in Magento 2 – Magento 2.3

Hello, everyone. Maintenance Mode is an important mode in Magento 2. In case you want to temporarily disable your website to update or fix bug, then you should give your website to maintenance mode.
So today I will show you the command line of Magento 2 to enable or disable maintenance mode.

1. Main keynotes

First, the mode is off if the file var/.maintenance.flag does not exist.

And if var/.maintenance.flag exists, the mode is on. But it also depends on the file var/.maintenance.ip. This file will make some exceptions so the Magento 2 maintenance mode can be off even if the var/.maintenance.flag exists

2. Enable the maintenance mode:

1

php bin/magento maintenance:enable[--ip=&lt;ip address&gt;]

Example:

1

php bin/magento maintenance:enable--ip=192.168.1.10--ip=192.168.1.11

So you will disable the maintenance mode for two IP address 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11. There is probably usually the Ip address of developer who wants to debug your website.

These steps I mentioned above are the shortest process for you to Enable/Disable Maintenance Mode in Magento 2. With this guide, you can manage the Maintenance Mode in Magento 2 easily. Every store has a Maintenance Mode in Magento 2 (Magento 2.3) with many attributes. Thank you for reading this post and see you in other posts from Magestore!
